Restrict access to data based on group or department criteria

Hello dear community!

I am trying to give access permissions to a data set in my one lake. The intention is to have the entire set of company data there and then according to the department or a specified group of people, filter my set so that each one sees their data and not that of the others, or according to which groups can or cannot access to a set of data. I would like to create dataset, lakehouse , warehouses with the data filtered according to my people group criteria. How can I do this?
Thank you very much in advance!!

At the moment domains themselves can't separate workloads from users/groups, that's still at the workspace level. Users/groups can be assigned to workspaces then workspaces to domains.

 

However this operates in a level above row/column level security. Workspace security is more about the user being able to access the object itself like a report, dataset, lakehouse. Whereas row/column level security is what data within those items they can see. You can conbine workspace and rls/cls. I hope that helps.

Hi @gracielatriv there is row and column level security available which will help restrict certain data to certain people/groups

Hello @AndyDDC !!

What a coincidence, I just saw one of your videos on YouTube talking about using domains to group workspaces. Can I use domains to achieve my goal of partitioning my enterprise data set or is the new addition of row or column level security better?

 

thank you so much !!

It was the information I needed, thank you very much @AndyDDC !!
I will go into more detail on these two terms.
